330-year-old farmhouse in the Harz Mountains

The Harz is known as the North German mountain paradise, with its reservoirs, hiking trails, forests, caves and of course the impressive mountain landscape, it is a true natural wonder.

But the Harz is not only suitable for recreational sports, hiking or relaxing - it is also home to some of the most interesting cultural sites in the country. In addition to various towns, you will find castles, mountain huts and all kinds of things worth discovering.

And in a dreamy old town, in the middle of the Harz, lies Anja's and Lutz's vacation home. More than 330 years old, the listed farmhouse was used a hundred years ago to herd geese out of town through a small gate onto the meadows. During the renovation, the couple took great care not to "gut" the house, and also preserved the original layout and the rooms themselves, using almost exclusively materials such as clay, straw, wood fiber and old beams.

Because of this, the house has its own special, original charm - it is divided into many small rooms and with its three bedrooms it can accommodate up to 6 guests. But beware: two of them may have to pull in their legs at night, because one of the three double beds is a stylish but old bed (with a new mattress) and therefore only 195 cm long.

It is exactly this charm of historical country life that makes the house special and the stay a unique experience.

The historic wood stoves, the cozy kitchen with sitting area, the lovely furnishings in old-fashioned country style meets modern standards and comfort, that's why you will find two modern renovated bathrooms and a dishwasher in the kitchen. Children are welcome, there are two cribs, high chairs and a playground just a few meters from the house and both the house and the exciting surroundings are perfect for an adventure vacation: back to the past.
